For IDP deployments, centralized management provides the following benefits:
■ Centralized management for IDP appliances and other network devices
■ Consolidated logs from different devices in a single repository
■ Centralized management of enterprise security policies
■ Simplified management for attack signature updates
■ Role-based administration
For information about installing NSM and using NSM distributed management features,
management objects (such as address objects, service objects, and templates), and
navigational and display features, see the NSM documentation.
J-Security Center Updates Overview
The Juniper Networks Security Center (J-Security Center) routinely makes important
updates available to IDP security policy components, including updates to the IDP
detector engine and the NSM attack database.
The IDP detector engine is a dynamic protocol decoder that includes support for
decoding more than 60 protocols and more than 500 service contexts. You should
update IDP detector engine when you first install IDP, whenever you upgrade, and
whenever alerted to do so by Juniper Networks. You can view release notes for
detector engine updates at
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/management/idp/de/.
The NSM attack database stores data definitions for attack objects. Attack objects
are patterns comprising stateful signatures and traffic anomalies. Security policy
rules direct the IDP engine to inspect traffic for attack objects. We recommend you
schedule automatic updates for the NSM attack database.
For more information about detector engine and attack object updates, see the IDP
Administration Guide.
